The Rochester Americans trace their roots back to the 1956?57 AHL season, when they entered the league with a bang by advancing all the way to the Calder Cup championship. They ended up losing the series to the Cleveland Barons, but their fast start did, indeed, portend future success; in a stunning spell of dominance, Rochester won three Calder Cups from 1964?68, losing in the championship series in 1966?67, the one season they failed to capture the title. The Amerks seized Calder Cup glory again in 1983, 1987, and 1996 for a total of six championships. Today, the Amerks remain one of the league?s most storied franchises, having spent most of their 32 seasons as the AHL affiliate of the Buffalo Sabres.
